10 Fun Summer Activities For Mommy & Me!

Have a Picnic: Pack a basket with some sandwiches, fruits, and drinks, and head to a local park for a picnic! Bring a blanket to sit on and enjoy the beautiful weather while you spend quality time with your daughter. This is a great way to unplug from phones and electronics and appreciate the world around you! 🍽️

Go on a Nature Walk: Take a nature walk in a local park or hiking trail. Look for different types of plants and wildlife, and take pictures along the way. You can even turn it into a scavenger hunt and make a list of things to find. Not only a great way to bond, but good exercise habits as well. 🌳

Do Some Crafting: Get creative with your cutie and do some crafting. You can make friendship bracelets, paint rocks, or create a scrapbook of your summer adventures. Allow her to make suggestions for future crafts. This fun activity also helps your daughter develop her creativity and fine motor skills.🎨

Visit a Museum or Aquarium: Take your mini to a museum or aquarium to learn about history, science, and marine life. Many museums have interactive exhibits that are fun and educational for kids of all ages. Zoos are also a fun option as you can often find all those exhibits in one place!🐙

Have a Movie Night: Pick a favorite movie or a new release, make some popcorn, order some pizza, and snuggle up on the couch for a movie night with your daughter. Will it be Encanto for the 4,000th time? Or will you finally convince her to give something else a try? It's a great way to unwind after a busy day and spend some quality time together.🎥

Try New Recipes: Experiment with new recipes in the kitchen with your daughter. Let her help you measure ingredients and stir the pot. You can make homemade pizza, cookies, or even ice cream. For an easy guide to meals even preschoolers can make, check out our article here.🧑‍🍳

Many of them have kid-friendly activities like face painting and crafts, and it's a great way to expose your daughter to different types of music and cultures. Make sure to take plenty of cute selfies throughout the day and ask her which parts were her favorite.🏟️
